Hello networkers,

I am using plip to connect my desktop PC with my notebook. If I don't start
the apmd on the notebook, everything works fine. If I start apmd on the
notebook, I cannot connect to it any more (even ping does not work). The
routing tables and network settings seem not to not change at all, no
messages in syslog either. However, I can still initiate connections from
the notebook to the desktop. After that, everything works in both
directions again.

I guess that the apmd somehow suspends the parallel port and activates it on
outgoing traffic, but not on incoming traffic. There are no options that
control the parallel port in any of the apm scripts. I am using debian
testing on both machines.

Any suggestions?
